Got my tablet (after a hassle with computer problems that ranged from a corrupt hard drive to a power supply whose fan was not spinning), and am enjoying it quite a bit. I need much more practice (and learning), but I think I'll improve over the next few weeks. Messing around with SAI at the moment, just getting used to the pressure and other features.
Back to the computer issue, I completely upgraded in the process of the crisis, so I now have an AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-core processor. I'm very pleased with it's performance so far, though I haven't done any rigorous tasks since its installation.
Au revoir,
Dirk
